The proposition to adopt the high

The proposition to adopt the high IL
cense system for the city of Staunton, is
but another form in which to press the
proposition for monopoly in the liquor
traffic. If the sanction of the State and
the law is to be given to the traffic, let it
be done without discrimination between
citizens of equally good character and To-
cations equally appropriate. 1t Is mere
ruse to throw moderate men off the track.
If the liquor traffic is right and desired
by the people, the present law is as good
as any If it is wrong, and the people
want to get I'D of it, let them say SO, and
not temporize with it. Neither ought the
question to be considered as mere mat
ter of revenue, without looking on both
sides of the issue. The money expended
for liquor is largely in excess of the reve-
nue. derived from the license to sell it,
The suggestion that high license be I'M
posed, and the fund thus derived dedi-
Gated to erect school buildings, will not
bear scrutiny. That might please those
who from long continuance in the bust
ness, would be able to pay the license, and
displease the less plethoric dealers, who
would be ruled out FIR want of means.
But the people don't want their school
houses built in that way, nor would it be
just to make the liquor drinkers pay for
what is. designed to beneficial classes. Nor
should the plea that prohibition don't
prohibit" be recognized in the contro-
versy. If the law breakers are more nu-
merous than the law-abiders, it ought to
be known, but the law-abiders ought not
to be condemned because the law breakers
may go unwhipped of justice. If prohi-
ton is right it ought to stand upon that
right, and those who support it ought not
to be Inundated by numbers The truth
should never feel abashed in any presence.
If there is to be an issue, let it be square
one-no subterfuges or deceptions-no
cowardly excuses or flimsy pretenses for
temporizing OF compromising. If ''pro-
Inhibition" will not prohibit, it will
not be the fault of prohibition. 1t
will be because public sentiment is
against it, and would prefer to sustain
the aw-breakers rather than the law
abiders. 1t would be a good way to
guage the moral tone of people, and
whether law that opposed the sensual
tastes and appetites could be enforced in
a community of churches and school
houses and christian associations.
Lieut.. Gov. J. e. Massey has been ten

HISTORY OF the Origin and Complex
ion of the Human Races" sby John N.
Davis, LII D. and Bible Advocate. - is a
IS page pamphlet that has been laid upon
our table by the author. Itis a work of
much research and careful preparation,
and is both interesting and instructive. 1t
is not only a historical treatise on the
subject of the Origin and Complexion of
the Human Races. but philosophical
discussion Of Bible History and an exhi-
bition of erudition rarely met with, out
side of the standard commentators. We
commend the work to all who NAV desire |
to read an interesting, dispassionate and
learned discussion of this interesting sub |
ject. They will find ita clear, concise and
logical arrangement and presentation
which will amply repay for the outlay of
80 cents, for which the pamphlet can be
purchased.

for publishing an extract from = speech
made before the Philadelphia "C!over club'
by Mr.. Paul Howard. Mr.. Dickens was rep
resented As having taken q Mr.. Dolby with
him on his American tour solely for the pur.
pose OF representing him at dinners which
he bad not the digestive power to attend in

That man was = treasure He possessed un.
limited capacity for eating and drinking and
had noble digestive powerA He did mostly
all my superfluous eating and drinking, and
l simply engaged Dolby's stomsch.' Mr..
Dolby, entering the witness box for himself,
denied that he was ever In the employ Of
Howard Paul and that the statements of his
dining for Dickens or that he returned
wreck were true. Justice Stephen, in sum.
ming up, said: Wt is one thing to make
chatting observations In an after dinner
speech at a club in America and quite
another thing to publish them broadcast in
an English newspaper, where they are liable
to be regarded in light prejudicial to the
plaintiffs character" The Jury gave q yer.
dict for el0O, with costs, for this unfortunate
